Malayalam actress Archana Kavi got engaged to stand-up comedian Abish Mathew in a private ceremony on Saturday, 31 October, in New Delhi. The function was attended by close family and friends of the couple.

Archana and Abish, who basically hail from Kottayam in Kerala, are childhood friends and were brought up in New Delhi. It was earlier in August that reports of their relationship hit the headlines.

Archana, known for her debut role in M T Vasudevan Nair-Lal Jose's "Neelathamara" (2009), has also been part of many other Mollywood projects, including "Mummy & Me", "Abhiyum Njanum" and "To Noora with Love". She has also acted in two Tamil films and a Telugu film.

Meanwhile, Abish began his career as a radio jockey and earned popularity through his stand-up comedy shows. He was also a part of the controversial AIB Knockout Roast.

Sources close to the actress reveal the wedding will be on 23 January. However, it is not sure whether Archana will continue her acting career after marriage.
